Yet to hit top form this season, though was far from disgraced in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood 12 days ago, and this C&D winner is not taken lightly back down in class.

Scored at Newbury in April and has continued in good nick, fourth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Can go well again off the same mark.

Scored 3 times last year, notably the Portland at Doncaster. Yet to fire this term but is becoming well treated and wasn't seen to best effect last 2 starts. Tempting.

Off the mark on first run for new yard in novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f) on Boxing Day before following up on handicap debut at Lingfield 12 weeks later. Fine third in handicap at Royal Ascot next time but down the field at Newmarket since. Can bounce back.

Yet to score this term but plenty of respectable efforts for his new yard. Latest tenth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket wasn't one of them, though. Bounce back needed.

Won over 5f here on soft in May and also placed over C&D twice, including 10 days ago. Should be thereabouts again.

Below par all 4 runs this season and needs the fitting of headgear to have a positive effect.

Scored at Newbury in June and has generally held his form since, nearest at the finish over C&D 10 days ago. Player if things drop right.

Won by 4 lengths at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) in June and quickly back on track when narrowly denied at Epsom (6f, good) in first-time blinkers (retained) 35 days ago. High on shortlist.

Prolific in 2021 but winless since. However, more of an impact off reduced mark when second at Goodwood 12 days ago, finishing well. Respected.

Opened account at the eighth attempt in handicap at Salisbury (5f) in May and resumed winning ways at Windsor a month ago. Easy to forgive latest run at Goodwood.

Some respectable efforts in defeat this term and has now dipped below last winning mark. Stuck in the mud at Thirsk latest.

Forecasts

Capote's Dream (9/2), Aphelios (9/2), Conquistador (5/1), Antiphon (10/1), Treacherous (11/1), Expert Agent (12/1), Rathbone (12/1), Call Me Ginger (12/1), Magical Merlin (12/1), Mattice (12/1), Bernardo O'Reilly (16/1), Estate (25/1), Bear Profit (40/1)

Verdict

Plenty to consider but it could be worth chancing CALL ME GINGER, who is lurking on a dangerous mark. Aphelios is feared back down in class along with 3-y-os Magical Merlin and Conquistador.
